How Exercise Physiology Can Help Manage Anxiety and Stress—From Home
Anxiety and stress are becoming increasingly common in today’s fast-paced world. While medication and therapy play important roles, many people don’t realize how effective tailored exercise can be as part of a holistic approach to mental health. At Virtual EP, we provide evidence-based, personalised exercise physiology programs via Telehealth to help you manage anxiety and stress safely and conveniently from home.
The Science Behind Exercise and Mental Health
Physical activity releases endorphins—natural mood boosters—and helps regulate stress hormones like cortisol. Regular, guided exercise improves sleep quality, boosts energy, and enhances overall resilience to stress. Studies show that even moderate activity can significantly reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.
How Exercise Physiology Tailors Programs for Mental Wellbeing
Exercise Physiologists design programs based on your unique needs, fitness level, and any physical limitations. This personalized approach helps prevent injury and burnout, ensuring exercise supports mental health rather than adding to your stress. Whether it’s gentle stretching, strength training, or cardiovascular work, your program will be safe, manageable, and effective.
Simple Exercises You Can Do at Home to Reduce Stress
Here are a few examples of exercises often included in Virtual EP programs that help ease anxiety:
Deep breathing and gentle yoga stretches to calm the nervous system
Low-impact cardio like walking or cycling to boost mood
Strength exercises to improve posture and body confidence
Mindful movement that promotes relaxation and focus
